Dear Censor,
Hope you are well.
In your spare time, just wanted to recommend some reading to you. You're a college student? Maybe you haven't gotten around to this one yet. It's John Milton's "Areopagitica" -- it's one of the reasons that we have freedom of speech in the United States (a place that is distinct from the internet where not all speech -- not even all civil speech -- is allowed). You might want to read Milton. He's passionate. He's instructive. He's a moral teacher. He's free (the book is available online now).
And, by the way, he's a much more entertaining writer than Ms. Huffington. Even if this site does have fantastic web design. Please tell the web designers (not to be confused with intelligent designers) just in case they cannot read this remark for themselves (you know, like if you don't post it).
Thanks, ever yours, the Muse
